Sketch out the lengths of the lips and the teeth As they are, while you paint more than just what you see I wanna solve every problem I meet Think of each one so long, I forget that I'm free I am the bullet before it's been released And I make damn sure that's all that I'll ever be You become what you are by believing it's true And it's not hope that gets me drunk It's the darkness I push it into I am a God, all alone in my room Curtains closed, wondering why my flowers won't bloom Maybe they'll find sunlight in spite of me But I tend not to trust things that I haven't seen I am the bullet before it's been released And I make damn sure that's all that I'll ever be You become what you are by believing it's true And hope don't get me drunk like it used to Uh, please take this gun from me Pull the trigger for me I can't stand the weight of this cold metal And I think I could fly if you pushed me Crack the sky like lightning And then I'd hit my glory or my undoing And either way, I would know it wasn't me shooting I am the bullet before it's been released And I'll stay here forever if it's all up to me You become what you hate by believing it's true And it's not hope that gets me drunk It's the darkness I push it into
